Being in an ambitious and fast growing business means that life at Copy Club is demanding and interesting. We also want to be rewarding for everyone who joins our team.

We have flexible hours and a remote culture that means you can design how to make the most of your time. Lizzie is in Mexico for 6 months this year and Pam is moving back to Glasgow. Tim blocks out a morning a week to take his 2 year old, swimming.

We provide a budget for co-working space, and for you to grab a coffee during the working day to get out of the house.

Open communication and conversation about mental health is always welcome and encouraged at Copy Club - we never shy away from the hard stuff.

Energised working style:

Our working style is very casual, open and action orientated. On the one hand, we can be shambolic but on the other, we have very high standards and boundless enthusiasm for what we are building.
